Larry learns that this has been happening since the 1950s after the arrival of an Egyptian Tablet, and he now understands that his job is to make sure the museum is back in order by the time it opens each morning. Larry seeks help and is aided by one of the wax figures, President Teddy Roosevelt (Robin Williams), who steps in and helps Larry maintain order and save the day. 1 User Review
